I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between
your offspring and her offspring; he shall bruise your head, and you
shall bruise his heel.” Genesis 3:15
Just call us strange if you like, but that’s OK. God moves
in a mysterious way, His mercies to behold. While on the one hand you can read
of my wifey’s discovery Easter Sunday morning here: http://thewoodssecretgarden.blogspot.com/2015/04/i-love-when-things-like-this-happen.html, on the other hand, as she showed me the tiny new growth coming out of
the vine, it appeared to me to be growing out of the place in the appearance of
the cross the feet would have been nailed. The gospel passage from Genesis 3
came to mind and the following words began to flow concerning the fulfillment of God's promise to the serpent and the victory of Christ overall.
The serpent’s head was crushed
And Life has conquered death.
The darkness is o’ercome
By the Spirit of God’s breath.
“Live”, Christ says to all
Who hear His word in fear,
And justified we’re
made to come
And worship drawing near.
United with the Vine
Whose purpose to declare
God’s glory overall has shined
As He our sins did bear.
Rejoice then in His love
And walk in faithfulness
As these are gifts He gives
In His own gift of righteousness.
And when our day is done
While looking in His face
We’ll give the rightful praise
Unto the glorious God of grace!
